is there any difference between the two in terms of performance? which setup will last longer?

 

Konis have a lifetime warranty and they are serviceable in North America (and not just by Koni).

Personally I'd go that route. Plus you can select your springrates for your style of driving.

 

Koni/GC is by far the most revered set up in the honda community. Including road race teams. This set up out performs almost all other brands including the more expensive ones. Check out the suspension forum.

 

if u want to slam hella low i say get the type II's. if u want performance get gc/koni.

 

I just put in a koni yellow/ground control set up this past weekend. AMAZING is all that i can say. The car feels planted, understeer is minimized and the overall ride quality isn't bad. Highly recommended. I can't say much for the function/forms because I have not owned them.

 

hey did you get them with the top hats? I've been curious about them. Do they have the lowered car bounce, if you know what i mean. Also did you buy them from weksauce?

 

Normally the 'lowered car bounce' comes from a car that's too low and is riding off the bumpstops, or a car with blown shocks and high springrate springs.

A properly dampened car at the correct height--regardless of the springrate--will not 'bounce'.

 

I love my koni + h&r sport springs. Koni all the way.

The Koni's do not bounce. Bounce comes from having a lowered lowered too much with factory shocks. Not sure what your talking about with the top hats though. I am just using the stock hats right now though. I am thinking about upgrading to Hotchkis 4 way adjustable camber plates. I love the Koni's and not to mention their customer service is top notch. I was missing a screw because it fell off while driving or something. Called them up and explained the situation and they sent me out another one for free. Called them on wed, received the scew on thursday. Amazing service!

 

my car doesn't have factory shocks, they are on tien SS and they aren't blown on top of that my car isn't lowered lowered cuz if it were i would of fixed it. IMO any car that starts getting lower has a "lowered car bounce" But some shocks wont have that stiffness and everyone has a different sense of feel. I don't know the springrate and that's prolly where my bounce is coming from. These came on the car when i purchased so that's why I was just thinking about going with the koni yellow/GC
